I have always wanted to get some shares in Pixar, eversince the days of Toys Story. It’s certainly not cheap to own the shares now, but it would certainly looks good as a “souvenir”. Definitely better than the action figures!

And also, due to the “lack of progress in the local entertainment” sector, Bursa Malaysia doesn’t seem to have any such counters that can perform similarly in the local market.

I need to start looking into the procedures of how to open a trading account overseas. Maybe call up my remisier now.

Pixar stock, for example, jumped when Disney’s “Chicken Little” opened strong, fueled by speculation that Disney would buy Pixar outright.
